Logs ineffective outing Thursday Mayers failed to record an out while allowing three runs on three hits and one walk Thursday against Detroit.

Impact Mayers entered the contest in the eighth inning with Los Angeles staked to a six-run lead. He gave up a double, two singles, a walk and a run before being removed, and two more of the runners he allowed to reach base crossed the plate after his departure. The Angels went on to win the contest, so Mayers' rough outing didn't affect the final outcome, but it did lead to Raisel Iglesias needing to pitch two innings to pick up the save. Mayers entered the game having logged eight straight scoreless appearances, and he figures to continue to be used in high-leverage situations despite Thursday's implosion.

Takes third loss Friday Mayers (1-3) allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one across 1.1 innings Friday, taking the loss to the Athletics.

Impact Mayers allowed a three-run home run to Chad Pinder in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old has been relied upon as one of the Angels' high-leverage relievers. He has received occasional save opportunities as Raisel Iglesias has struggled this season. However, Mayers has had his own struggles with a 5.48 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP across 21.1 innings, although he does carry an impressive 12.66 K/9.

Earns second save Mayers allowed no hits and two walks while striking out three in one inning to earn the save against the Red Sox on Sunday.

Impact Mayers picked up his second save of the season since the Angels elected to use Raisel Iglesias in the eighth inning of Sunday's close matchup. Mayers has converted on two of his four save chances this year and has posted a 4.34 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 18.2 innings in 2021. While Mayers' performance Sunday was encouraging, Iglesias still appears to be firmly entrenched as the Angels' closer.

Hit hard in relief loss Mayers (1-2) was charged with a loss and a blown save as a result of giving up four runs on four hits over one-third of an inning against Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Impact Mayers' first outing since returning from a brief stay on the COVID-19 list wasn't pretty, as he gave up a solo home run to Mike Zunino in the seventh inning and was charged with three more runs in the eighth after yielding a hit to each of the three batters he faced. The right-hander has been utilized in high-leverage situations throughout the campaign, and that doesn't figure to change in spite of the fact that Thursday's rough outing pushed his ERA all the way up to 4.91 through 15 appearances.

Back from injured list Mayers (undisclosed) was activated from the injured list Wednesday.

Impact The 29-year-old was placed on the injured list Monday for an unspecified reason, and his return two days later confirms he was in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Mayers has a 2.51 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB with one save and four holds this season, and he should return to a high-leverage role now that he's back on the roster.

Rough outing Wednesday Mayers (1-1) took the loss against Texas on Wednesday, allowing three runs on two hits and a walk without recording an out.

Impact Mayers entered the contest with a pristine 0.93 ERA over eight appearances, but that number is now a less-extraordinary 3.72 following Wednesday's blowup. The right-hander was burned by a pair of home runs, and all four runs he has allowed this season have come by way of the long ball. Despite the tough outing, Mayers should still factor prominently in the Angels' bullpen.

Picks up first save of season Mayers recorded the save Monday against the Astros after allowing one run on one hit in the ninth inning.

Impact Mayers entered the game holding a two-run lead and gave up a solo shot to Kyle Tucker, but he closed the door effectively despite not striking anyone out. This was Mayers' first save of the season, and while he might see further opportunities here and there, he's not expected to replace Raisel Iglesias as the Angels' full-time closer anytime soon.
